PROMIS Measures
PROMIS® tools measure what patients are able to do and how they feel.
These tools are in the form of questionnaires that are asked in interviews, given
to patients in written form, by computer, and by PDAs. The answers patients give
are accumulated into reliable reports that can be used by patients and physicians
to improve communication and manage diseases by finding the most appropriate treatment
plan. PROMIS® tools also allow physicians to better understand how various
treatments might impact what patients are able to do and the symptoms they experience.
